Chapter 105: Fake Surrender
The Fisher family has sent people with a lot of gifts to negotiate with the Case family. Originally, Byrne was the most suitable person to negotiate, but he always felt that he might not be able to come back after going, so he had to let Baron Leander negotiate on his behalf.
Byrne also wrote a letter, in which he wrote as many humble words as possible, which could be said to be extremely flattering.
He claimed that the Fisher family was really incompetent and could not manage the village of Urd at all, so they had to trouble the Case family to manage it instead.
They voluntarily handed over all the resources in the Urd village to Baron Case for safekeeping.
Because of the behind-the-scenes support of Viscount Garcia, the Case family has always been arrogant in the four towns, and they don’t know that the Fisher family has found the Lion family as a deep-bound backer.
They naturally think that the Fisher family has been completely overwhelmed by fear and terror.
Next, the Case family will definitely greedily find a way to occupy the town of Nasir.
But it won't be done in one go. The Fisher family can do everything they can to delay for a few months, using all kinds of money, gifts and words to buy precious time.
As long as Chris can successfully step onto the third step of the Path of Tranquility after a few months, the plan to destroy the Case family will be implemented immediately.
The only request they made was that the Case family would release Theo's son.
Unexpectedly, the Case family accepted all the gifts but rejected Fisher's only request.
They were willing to accept the Fisher family's surrender, and then immediately send their people to Urd Village, and those people would become the village managers again.
The Fisher family not only sent a batch of gifts to the Case family, they immediately started to work on the second batch of expensive gifts.
Anyway, those extraordinary materials, gold coins, and alchemy props were just for the Case family to help store for a few months, so Byrne and others didn't feel bad.
Only Irene was confused when she saw that the money on the account was less, her heart was bleeding, and she often sighed.
The precious time gained next is the preparation stage of the Fisher family.
Byrne began to use the ability of "deconstruction perspective" to focus on analyzing the specific material composition of the two masks of the Alchemy Council.
He found that the alchemical materials inside the white mask were very complex, and each alchemical material was valuable, while the composition of the low-quality dark gold mask was much cheaper.
Byrne began to try to imitate alchemical props that could have a "masking" effect.
In fact, he has been trying to make alchemical potions that can change his face since a few years ago, but unfortunately he has never succeeded.
Now with the ability of "deconstruction perspective", Byrne can instantly reverse all the material components in the mask, which can be regarded as divine help.
Carl silently followed all the movements of the Fisher family, hoping that things would go smoothly.
If things did not go smoothly, he knew that Irene was ready to sacrifice herself completely.
At that time, Carl would not refuse to pray, and would satisfy Irene's wish to destroy the Case family and send her off to the last journey of her short life.
He recently discovered that the mysterious objects that were dismantled did not disappear completely, but a vague shadow remained in the depths of the soul.
In simple terms, the runes in all mysterious objects can be dismantled into rune essences, and in fact, those rune essences can also be reconstructed into the original runes.
However, runes are like extremely complex building blocks.
It is easy to dismantle them, but it is extremely difficult to put them back together without making any mistakes.
"Although it will be tedious and complicated to put them back together, it is a good discovery after all."
Carl was still very happy, because in the future he could dismantle the essence of runes without restraint, and no longer feel that the original runes disappeared and felt it was a waste.
If the new effect of a rune after evolution is not compatible with the Fisher family member it is matched with, he can also dismantle that rune and reassemble it into a rune that has been dismantled and replaced.
For example, "Iron Wall" is not very compatible with Chris's sequence ability at present.
He thought about dismantling "Iron Wall" and replacing another rune for Chris in the future.
The runes that were replaced may be runes that have been obtained but disassembled, or they may be new runes that will be obtained in the future.
"In short, the various combinations of runes will be very flexible, and there is no need to worry about mismatches or dissatisfaction with the newly evolved effects."
The only problem is that it is easy to disassemble runes, but it is extremely difficult to put them back together.
It takes a very long time to reconstruct runes, otherwise he would have thought of immediately replacing Chris's "Iron Wall" with "Lightning Expulsion" or "Bad Blood".
However, Carl was extremely bored to begin with, so he thought it was a bit of fun.
"Chris, have you finished writing?"
In the alchemy workshop of the Fisher Family Manor, Chris silently wrote down the specific findings about the third-level promotion route according to Byrne's request.
"You actually discovered two routes?" Byrne was a little surprised after reading what he wrote.
After writing, Chris put down the quill, nodded, and said nothing.
In fact, he accidentally discovered that in two situations, spirituality would suddenly be mobilized and there were signs of boiling.
The first situation was assassination.
As long as one kills people without being noticed, one's own spirituality will show signs of autonomous mobilization.
As for the second situation, when Chris was pretending to be a passerby, he discovered that his spirituality could also be mobilized independently.
Moreover, he soon discovered that the mobilization efficiency of the second situation was even more efficient than the first, and it was easier to approach the boiling state.
Byrne thought for a moment, nodded in confirmation and said:
"Then it seems that it would be easier to take the second route. Your third level ability should be closer to 'camouflage' rather than 'assassination'."
Chris also thinks this is true. He expects that he will be promoted in a few months.
"Then we'll wait for you to come back."
After listening to Byrne's instructions, Chris went to say goodbye to his sister Eileen, and then left Fisher Manor.
He thought for a while, but still didn't go to Vanessa.
Later, Chris left Nasir town alone in a carriage.
He came to the more populous city of Fein. Due to the establishment of various factories one after another, the city is now adding new people every day.
It is said that several families in the city made important decisions at the suggestion of the Lion Family.
They want to expand the urban area of Fein City and establish several surrounding towns around Fein City to alleviate various problems caused by the population explosion in the urban area.
Chris knows one thing very well. Building a new town requires a lot of money and involves a lot of construction projects, which will eventually lead to many complex conflicts.
But those have nothing to do with the Fisher family. There is only one thing he has to do now.
The route of the promotion ceremony is "disguise".
Judging from Byrne's experience in being promoted to "occult scholar", it should be that the more complex the ritual steps, the greater the impact, and the more obvious the spiritual boiling.
Chris spent more than a year wondering how he could completely pretend to be someone else.
Time is running out, and I must step onto the third ladder as soon as possible.
The boy took a deep breath. Although he didn't interact much with people, it didn't mean that he didn't value his family and friends.
In his mind, he recalled the worry in Tio's eyes, the moment when Archibald was almost killed, and finally the broken corpses outside the factory, and Vanessa's plea full of sadness and anger in the rain.
Chris knew with absolute certainty that there was no more time.
If the Keyes family is not removed, the town of Nasir will be wiped out sooner or later, and everyone in the Byrne, Irene, Vanessa, Archibald, and Fisher families will lose their footing.
Sister, I will never tolerate that scene actually coming.
He wants to completely abandon himself, change his appearance, and become a completely different person.
The young man shaved off his silky silver hair, endured the pain and used a dagger to make messy wounds on his face, and finally put on a set of tattered clothes.
He came to the smelly muddy water. The boy in the water completely lost his original beautiful appearance and turned into an extremely ugly "dwarf". Chris jumped into the muddy water and it took him a long time to climb out.
At this time, Chris was completely dirty and exuded a strong stench.
feeling bad.
Chris suppressed the discomfort and closed his eyes.
He then came to a mining area outside Fein City, deliberately hunched over, and found a man in charge of recruiting people in the mining area.
The man in charge of recruiting people was surrounded by several thugs, who were constantly looking around and patrolling. They frowned when they smelled Chris's scent.
"What kind of pig is this thing? It's a stinky dwarf that makes you sick to your stomach!"
Chris didn't care. He walked slowly as if he had been hungry for a long time, and suddenly said a series of begging words:
"I want a job, I'll do anything! I need money!"
Just when he said these words, he could clearly feel signs of spiritual boiling.
Although it didn't last, the boiling moment was extremely obvious.
The man in charge of recruitment stared at the short, dirty and ugly guy for a long time, then suddenly laughed and said:
"Okay, stinky dwarf, but I think you won't be able to do it for long in this state, so we can't give you money, we can only give you food, how about that?"
"Why don't you give me money? I, I..." Chris pretended to hesitate.
The man suddenly became angry and yelled: "You are not satisfied with the food. If you don't do it, others will do it. If you don't agree, get out!"
What he said is true. The migrant population in Fein City has surged recently. There is no shortage of mining workers in the mining area, so the mine owners decided to reduce the cost of people as much as possible.
"I'll do it! I'm going to die, and I'm willing to do anything!"
Chris yelled emotionally, his eyes were wide open, his whole body was shaking, and he even spat out a few drops of saliva!
Killing is easy, talking...
So difficult.
